Ponder ISD

A Ponder ISD student is in intensive care after a sledding accident on Monday. Caden Nowicki, a Ponder High School senior and a member of the Lions football team, was reportedly injured while sledding Monday.

The Ponder ISD school board recently voted unanimously to move to a four-day school week in 2025-26. Superintendent James Hill said the vote has already made phones ring with good news: Teachers on the job hunt are asking if there are positions open.
